SUMMARY:10.15.26 - Fellowship Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow Rotarians for a special Fellowship Luncheon designed to give members an opportunity to connect\, share\, and get to know one another a little better. \nInstead of our regularly scheduled program\, we’ll enjoy a more interactive luncheon featuring fun and interesting question prompts designed to spark conversation and help members discover things they may not know about their fellow Rotarians. Whether you’ve been a member for decades or are new to the club\, this is a great opportunity to build relationships and enjoy some fellowship. \nA Change to Our October Program\nOur previously scheduled Legacy Luncheon honoring our Past Presidents has been rescheduled for November 19. \nThe change was made to allow members who wish to attend the Celebration of Life for former Rotarian Asgi Fazlebas\, which takes place on October 15\, to do so without feeling as though they are missing an important Rotary luncheon. \nWe hope the Fellowship Luncheon provides an opportunity for those who are able to join us to still enjoy time together as a club\, while giving others the flexibility to attend Asgi’s Celebration of Life. \nWe look forward to an enjoyable afternoon of fellowship\, conversation\, and getting to know the Rotarians who make our club special.

SUMMARY:10.22.26 - David Morgan\, Ph.D. - MSU Research Foundation Professor of Translational Neuroscience\, MSU College of Human Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: David Morgan\, Ph.D. \nTopic: Aging and brain function\, with a focus on developing and testing treatments for Alzheimer’s dementia. \nBio:  \nDr. Morgan’s doctoral research at Northwestern University investigated the neurochemistry of memory with Aryeh Routtenberg. Some of this work was published in Science. Dr. Morgan’s postdoctoral studies addressed aging-related changes in rodent and human brain in the laboratory of Caleb “Tuck” Finch at the University of Southern California. Morgan became a faculty member at the USC in 1986 where his research projects focused on astrocytes and microglia in aged brain\, including Alzheimer’s tissues (published in Neuron). Dr. Morgan moved to the University of South Florida in 1992\, where he participated in generating the APP+PS1 transgenic mouse model of amyloid deposition (published in Nature Medicine). The Morgan-Gordon Lab at USF was the first to show that immunotherapy against the amyloid peptide rescued the memory deficits in APP mouse models (published in Nature). We also found that immunotherapy could produce a side effect\, that was subsequently seen in human cases\, called ARIA (microhemorrhage). \nIn 2009 Morgan became CEO/Executive Director of the Byrd Alzheimer’s Institute at USF where he developed programs in Community-Based Memory Screening\, the multispecialty Center for Memory C.A.R.E.\, and established a mobile clinical trials unit to promote clinical research participation at retirement centers. In 2017 he relocated to Michigan State University in Grand Rapids. He is presently an MSU Research Foundation Professor and Director of the College of Human Medicine Alzheimer’s Alliance. Dr. Morgan has over 230 peer-reviewed publications and has been continuously funded from NIH since 1989 with over 100 grant-years of support. Morgan served for 6 years (2013-2019) on the Program Committee for the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference\, the last 3 years as Chairperson. \nResearch Interests: \nDr. Morgan’s research interests are aging and brain function\, focusing on developing and testing treatments for Alzheimer’s dementia. A major therapeutic approach for his team is modifying innate immune system activity to slow or prevent neurodegeneration. Towards this end the Morgan-Gordon lab has tested immunotherapy\, gene therapy\, and small molecule approaches in both mouse models of amyloidosis\, and mouse models of tauopathy. Most recently the Morgan-Gordon lab has developed an amyloid enhanced tauopathy mouse model\, that initially develops amyloidosis and subsequently results in tau pathology and memory deficits\, mimicking the sequence of pathologies in Alzheimer patients (published in Alzheimer’s and Dementia).
